“Being wrong, they understand, isn’t a sign of stupidity. It’s a sign of curiosity, openness to new information, and ultimately smarts.”

For a culture of fast action & growth, if it isn’t safe to be wrong, to learn more & to evolve then you can’t expect quick decisions (or worse you will have a team that consistently stands up for a failure instead of learning or pivoting)

The discussion about finding out how smart someone is by asking a time they were wrong is also intriguing. It takes courage to admit you are wrong. It takes courage to tell the story. Apparently it is also evidence of being smart!

Submitting to get quoted/published is supposed to be great “free” marketing. As a small business we learn & take such advise! (+ I love writing)

Kids keep you humble – their reaction to my first article was “you look terrible in that picture” (courtesy of V) & this conversation with Bo:

“Good for you mom but I have even better news.”

“What’s that?”

“What I told you before – I found your remote!” (That he lost!) (& has lost countless times since) (& the nanny finds & puts back in its spot where he then “finds”)

Most of the publications subsequent to the 1st got zero response. This one though impressed them since they seemed to use an adorable puppy to symbolize me?! Read about the journey from employee to entrepreneur & look for my part under the dog.

A great book-keeper is key to your business. A tax expert is essential to you as an entrepreneur. A CFO/Controller goes a step further and if you are growing it could make all the difference. http://ow.ly/UVZO30m26d5 Discuss with us investing in you & hiring an interim, part-time, contract or virtual finance leader.

Thanksgiving weekend! So much to be thankful for. Every year we recognize our friends & family but this year is extra special. The amazing support of them + our network has amplified our business launch. Our epic team has made our first three months (pre-launch) amazing. We are grateful to our clients and all of you that have supported.

Do great companies manage their vision and growth off just spreadsheets & numbers alone? Not likely! That is why your #financeleader, #businessadvisor and #connector needs to be able to do more too. https://lnkd.in/gjHYhdj #cfoservices

Just like we advise our clients, Amplify Advisors Inc. is setting up scalable processes and technology to support our team and let us focus on quality client service. And just like our clients experience – it is hard work implementing! But it’s exiting too. https://www.accelo.com offers a more advanced & streamlined solution that far exceeds the capabilities of what our team grew up on. We are excited for the hard work to pay off! https://lnkd.in/gjHYhdj #financeautomation #crm #workflow
